Perfect for younger and new divers, guys on a budget or those who just want to "test the waters" on one of our group trips, the Mango Inn welcomes our all-male group of gay scuba divers. This trip is an amazing value with three dives a day, air-conditioned accommodations with private bath, and breakfast and dinner included.
Casual with charming touches, the Mango Inn generally caters to a younger, European crowd. Enjoy pizza from the only brick oven in town and other specialties of the Italian chef. Evenings and after diving, you'll mix and mingle with the other guys around the new pool and hot tub on the resort grounds.
The Inn is the ideal size for a group of about 30 divers and we will have it entirely to ourselves. Located in town just steps from bars and nightlife, it's about a 15 minute walk to the dive shop each morning.
We've scheduled this vacation for whale shark season, however, sightings can't be guaranteed. We'll certainly look at every opportunity between dives and if we spot a whale shark, we'll slip into the water to try to snorkel with it. Come for the fun, easy diving, known for sponges, coral and exciting walls, and consider it a major bonus if we do see a whale shark!
Experience diving with a friendly and fun group of men. It's easy to meet a new dive buddy at our welcome cocktail party, or bring a friend. We are happy to match you with a roommate if you are traveling solo, and limited single supplements are also available if you prefer your own room.

Getting there :
It's simplest to fly to Roatan (RTB), arriving before 4 p.m. on March 20th and home on March 27th any time. From Roatan we'll arrange a charter flight for the group for $115 per person each way, billed separately. There are non-stop flights from the U.S. to Roatan on Continental and Delta.
We do not recommend flying to La Ceiba on a Central American airline such as TACA and taking a local flight from there, or to San Pedro Sula on American Airlines. If you choose this route, be ready for a Central American adventure with two changes of small planes, and bring all of your essentials in your carry-on bag!
